Calling all chefs and hospitality teams
Stoneware that works as hard as your kitchen
Your crockery is part of every dish you send out. It needs to look beautiful on the pass and survive hundreds of services, dishwasher cycles and busy hands. Regular ceramic chips and stains quickly. High-fired stoneware is built for exactly this kind of use.
Nugu makes handmade stoneware plates, bowls, platters, mugs and serveware at our own unit in Mullur, Karnataka. Every piece is made from 100% natural materials, is 100% vegan, and is finished with food-safe glazes. We are TÜV SÜD certified, and 80% of our artisans are local women, so every order supports rural livelihoods.
